About this ebook
A man moves from Nevada to New York, tired of his old life and hungry for change. He immediately meets a man completely enamored by Nevada's charm. They enter into a heated debate over the merits and downfalls of their respective cities. This humorous short story reflects O Henry's own enchantment with New York City and reminds us that although people talk a lot, rarely do they listen. William Sidney Porter (1862-1919), known simply as O. Henry, was a prolific American author of humorous literary pieces. His fame came exceptionally quickly and he became a bestselling author of short story collections. The most notable of which being "Cabbages and Kings", "The Voice of the City", and "Strictly Business." In fact, his legacy was so great that the ‘O. Henry Award’ was established to celebrate the best short stories. His vivid storytelling is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl.
